I have Heavy Metal on DVD, and they had a version on there where they play the whole movie sound (dialog, effects, and music) but it's just the story boards.

I'd watch the entire movie as reference.

#6 why do dungeons have pillories and other things like this, when this existed at some point.

Part of it is to force discomfort from hours of awkward positioning. But also, and I've gotta speak delicately to not upset the Imgur AI, when a person is kept in a bending or kneeling position, they're all the easier to tAkE aDvAnTaGe Of. Look up the "stuck in wall" tag for modern variants.

I know a lot of artists who are told "copying isn't art, it should be from memory" no. No, most artists copy

Using references is not copying.

You'd be surprised how many people consider using references "copying.". Plus they copy each other's work regularly

I’m always amazed how many people don’t know this. Like, yeah, dude, when artists draw they uses references! Hell even astounding savants like that dude who made a perfect sketch of NYC from Birds Eye view from memory still had to go up in a helicopter first to SEE IT.

References are important!

The mickey doll is a stand in for little Michael in the movie. Whilst everyone is fawning over the stand in for "Poor Nanny" the dog.
